Tensions between the US and Greenland escalated further after President Donald Trump appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the special envoy to the Danish autonomous territory. Landry's vow to make Greenland 'a part of the US' sparked outrage among Greenlanders, who have vowed to stage massive protests against him when he arrives. The Danish government has also condemned Landry's remarks, with the Foreign Minister calling them 'deeply angered.' The European Union has pledged 'full solidarity' with Denmark. Greenlanders have expressed their anger on social media, with some drawing parallels between Trump's policies and those of Adolf Hitler. Landry's comments are the latest development in a long-standing row between Trump and Greenland. Since coming to power, Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in the mineral-rich island, citing security concerns. The 79-year-old President has not ruled out using force to capture the island. Greenlanders are bracing for even bigger protests this time around than the ones that greeted Trump's visit in March 2025. The appointment of Landry and his inflammatory comments have raised fears that the situation could escalate further. The international community is watching the situation closely, with the European Union standing in solidarity with Denmark.
